HST Image of 47 Tucanae
This picture, taken with the Hubble Space
Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2,
depicts the stars’ natural colors in 47 Tucanae.
For example, the red stars denote bright red giants at
the end of their lives, while the common yellow stars
are similar to our middle-aged Sun. The Chandra image
falls in a region seen in the upper-left corner of this
HST image.(Credit: NASA/STScI/R.Gilliland

Chandra Full-Field Image
This image shows the entire field-of-view for the
Chandra observations of 47 Tucanae. There are over 100
X-ray sources in this field, over ten times the amount
detected by previous X-ray satellites.(Credit: NASA/CfA/J.Grindlay et

Chandra Zoom
This image focuses on the central region of the
full-field Chandra image and displays the incredible
density of X-ray emitting sources in a very small
region.(Credit: NASA/CfA/J.Grindlay et
